The Shea Island Restoration Project, led by Chico State Enterprises in partnership with the Sacramento River Forum, aims to restore critical habitats for at-risk salmon populations in the upper Sacramento River Basin. The project will remove stranding pools, open historical channels, and restore a network of side channels on Shea Island to enhance juvenile salmonid rearing and spawning habitats. With an estimated 20 acres of juvenile habitat and 5 acres of spawning habitat, the project will also stabilize banks with large rocks and use removed vegetation to enhance instream habitat.
